70. Noah's Ark
Compared to the situation here, the top deck is not ideal, it seems that the warmed up Poseidon is even more crazy, setting off monstrous waves that are several times more terrifying than before, every time the waves fall, it is like a rare storm, and the rain is people's bodies, with a strong fishy smell. Li Hao was fortunate to taste a few sips, astringent nasal soreness, and kept sneezing. He had no time to curse Poseidon, for the huge bell tower-like hull was beginning to shake, and many people were losing their balance as a result, and the heat of the storm made it impossible to stand up like a ball.
Li Hao's movements were agile to dodge the sea creatures that were thrown up, bouncing in the thrilling waves. A steady stream of passengers climbed up from the cabins and gathered on the wide deck like a central square, and do-gooders flocked to the bow of the ship with umbrellas to see the wonders of nature up close. And as the tide continues to escalate, the situation on the sea surface also becomes more bizarre. Large bubbles began to churn out, and the color difference gradually became saturated from dark blue to an incredible orange-red, while dead fish kept floating up with their bellies.
In the bilge of a 70,000-ton cruise ship, thousands of shirtless laborers are diligently filling coal furnaces with fuel to form enough steam power to propel Noah's Ark forward. In order to alleviate the boredom and loneliness at work, everyone will always tell some jokes to adjust the atmosphere, whether it is who is lucky enough to see the vast breasts of a certain celebrity, or the graceful thighs of a café waitress. Old Hans, the foreman, never stopped this, and habitually lay on his side on the oily discarded machine tools, with black cotton wool under him, and a copper pipe that looked like some age in his mouth, and squinted and smiled silently, for he had also come from a young age, and had worked as an overseer in the boiler room of the Elizabeth, where the lads were much more mischievous than here, and who often stole wine while he worked.
Speaking of which, he hasn't been home for three years, and when he is homesick, he always takes out a rusty pocket watch from his pocket, and the reverse side of this gadget is pasted with a photo of his wife and little daughter, who was only two years old when he left, and now should be able to call dad very fluently. The dial was always wiped clean and bright, and it could be used as a mirror when he got closer, and he touched his bald head, thinking about whether to save money and send his daughter to a university of higher learning to be inlaid with gold, or to go to the assembly line to be a textile worker like her mother, although the salary is not high, and there is no professional vitality to speak of, but it is very stable.
As he pondered this repeatedly, old Hans heard some hissing noise, and he instinctively guessed that it should be the direction of the boiling water, for the boiler master who was in charge of the boatmen's drinking water was a veritable old drunkard, who often lost track of time because he was drunk. Old Hans jumped out of bed very unhappily, prepared a sentence cursing the man in his mind, and habitually glanced at the fixed sensing thermometer on the copper wall, and the whole person seemed to have encountered an avalanche, rubbing his eyes in an incredible way. He wished he was dizzy, but the main hand on the dial was indeed far out of the warning line, and according to the usual law, it was enough to cause a devastating explosion.
Because of their work habits, the shipwrights who worked hard to fill the coal did not feel uncomfortable, and for them, what is the difference between 60 degrees and 80 degrees, anyway, they are bathed in sweat. The thermometer has no tendency to stop, and the mercury thermometers scattered everywhere like stars are bursting, and the glass residue is even splashed on the backs of many **.
"Quick, everybody, get out of here...... The sooner the better......"
Old Hans cried desperately, the steel plate under his feet was too hot to stand, hotter than the banks of the Volga River in the scorching heat, and even the thickest calluses could not resist. The pain caused the muscles of his face to twitch like a sharp knife, and the air around him steamed rapidly, replaced by a death pattern scientifically named "suffocation". The workers were boiling, and each of them threw away his shovels and pickaxes, and made a mess. Many of them had been shipwrecked, but none of them could tell what was going on. …
Finally, like the G part of the piano sonata, even the old slave who is hard of hearing or deaf can feel the shock from the depths of the distant seabed, like dozens of trains running side by side. The steel mast shook violently, all the glass windows shattered in an instant, and people screamed in horror as if they had met death.
Noah's Ark, which was moving slowly, slammed into the reef beach that had risen due to the split of the earth's crust, and the bow of the ship tilted backwards to form an elevation angle of at least 20 degrees, and the people were unsuspected, falling on their backs in the form of a game of dominoes, layer upon layer.
The steel plates of the bilge of Noah's Ark began to become softer and softer after being scorched at a terrible heat, and tended to melt, many wooden tables and chairs were not combustible on their own, and the coal furnace made of steel was also crumbling. The bilge was filled with a disgusting stench of burning, and the innocents who had died horribly were like a school of live squid roasted to death on an iron plate. Instinctively, the survivors shouted the names of their parents and fiancées. And what they want in their hearts must be to dance with death as soon as possible to get rid of the hellish torment on the **.
After an earth-shattering roar.
Magellan's active volcano, which had been dormant for decades, has awakened, and perhaps this is another little prank by Lord Poseidon.
Billions of lava erupted from the basin-like notches, and the jet column continued to expand in size, easily tearing through the bottom of the ship. This thrilling picture has long crossed the shackles of life and death, and has evolved into a gorgeous forbidden magic. At the same time as the pillar of fire pierced the cruise ship, the dark red liquid steel was immersed inward in a ring, and collided with the boiling seawater, splashing a tongue of magma fire several feet high, making a terrifying sonic boom.
Due to the large amount of ash erupted, the bilge of Noah's Ark, although burned into a vacuum, showed no signs of sinking. Li Hao stood in the midst of the aristocracy, listening to their harsh questioning of the crew and their uneducated insults. He thought that if he was one of those crew members, he would not hesitate to reward the slaps of the swearers, and after taking off his sailor suit and throwing it into the sea, he said that Lao Tzu is gone, and now he is a tourist who needs to be rescued like you.
Seven rescue flares bloomed in the sky, and if nothing else, the escort griffon knights of the harbor capital would arrive soon, followed by the knights of Benlei, who were more demanding than the Roman knights, and finally the white knights, an important branch of the healing department. 、
Li Hao likes these natural things very much, full of strong adventure, and he fantasizes that he is a famous ranger. Climb aboard one of the world's most famous luxury cruise ships, meet the royal knights, engage in a tongue-in-cheek battle with the nobles, and dine with two veritable princesses. In his pocket, there were only two sterling silver badges ordered by the Scat Mercenary Guild, and six universal gold coins that he called all his belongings. He pondered that in such an atmosphere, if he could have two glasses of Werther Winery's collectible white wine, it would be more able to reflect the unique aura of the Ranger, which would be much more coquettish than using the Crimson Inquisition to destroy the Royal Knights of Mez City.
